Chapter 330 Brother Heng!(1/2)
"Come on, come on, the first-day box office of "The Great Wall" is out!"
"How much? Is it over 100 million?"
"Hurry up and finish sending the manuscript so that you can get off work early!"
"Fuck!"
"Fang Ziheng is invincible, he broke the record again!"
Tengxun Entertainment.
An employee responsible for receiving the box office of "The Great Wall" on the first day opened the text message on his mobile phone at the urging of his colleagues and let out a shocked cry.
The same absent-minded scene was staged on all major media platforms.
No one can face the first-day box office of "The Great Wall".
127.6 million!
Breaking the record in film history, another phenomenal blockbuster!
When other movies are still struggling with the box office of 30 to 50 million yuan on the first day, "The Great Wall" can be turned over as easily as drinking water and eating.
And this is already Fang Ziheng’s second movie with a box office of over 100 million on the first day!
As the old saying goes: Successful people always succeed!
But when it comes to Fang Ziheng, it’s such a success!
There really is no opponent!
At this moment, as an entertainment media person who has witnessed Fang Ziheng's rise with his own eyes, it is hard to be too surprised.
Compared with the media's roar, the mood of major film and television companies and people in the film industry is completely different.
Envy, sadness, jealousy, to name a few.
Chairman of Guangxian Media, Wang Changtian’s home.
He was also waiting for the first-day box office of "The Great Wall" in his study. After receiving the text message, he was completely stunned.
Do you want to be so cruel?
Wang Changtian's eyes widened and he stared at the data on the screen of his mobile phone.
He felt bitter and astringent in his heart, still unable to believe that "The Great Wall" could achieve such an achievement.
the reason is simple!
Last year and the year before last, Guangxian Media produced several costume dramas in succession, including two so-called epic war blockbusters.
One is "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" released in 2011.
A film called "Tongque Terrace" released in 2012.
Of these two movies, one is based on the late Qin Dynasty and the other is based on the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The story and allusions are extremely well-known in the hearts of ordinary people in China.
Especially "Bronze Bird Terrace" is a follow-up film that Wang Changtian made in advance after learning that Fang Ziheng was going to film "The Great Wall".
The purpose is to seize the limelight and reap the market dividends raised by "Four Famous Catchers".
As a result, I didn’t get any dividends, and even my pants from “Tongque Terrace” were lost.
"Glossy can't make costume blockbusters, so it can only engage in small and medium-cost productions."
This is what colleagues in the film and television industry privately laughed at Wang Changtian, mocking him for his background as an entertainment reporter and for not overestimating his abilities.
After "The Great Wall" was completed, he has been paying attention to the movie!
He wanted to know what would happen if a movie with the same theme of ancient costume war was directed by Fang Ziheng.
Will it be like "Tongque Terrace", which also lost Maicheng?
Today, he finally knew.
"The Great Wall" exceeded 100 million on its first day, breaking the record again in the hands of Fang Ziheng.
"well"
Wang Changtian let out a long sigh, his expression unclear.
Comparing one person to another is really annoying!
After a long time, he calmed down and dialed the number of Cao Xiaobei, president of Halls Youth Guangxian Pictures, a subsidiary of Guangxian Media.
"Hey, Xiao Cao, have you seen the first-day box office of "The Great Wall"?"
"I just watched it, Mr. Wang, are you planning to make a costume movie?"
"No, I don't want to at all."
Wang Changtian shook his head and said with a certain tone: "After "The Great Wall" is released, there will definitely be many follow-up movies on the market this year and next, and a lot of them will be shoddy. We, Guangming, will not get involved in this problem."
"Xiao Cao, we have to change our thinking. Well-known celebrities such as Wu Jing and Zhao Yanzi have become directors. Do you think other celebrities have any ideas?"
"Director Wang, I understand what you mean. You want to invest in celebrities who are famous and have charisma, and ask them to make movies."
"Not only celebrities, but also young directors and young writers can do it. The market environment is getting better and better, and there are more and more types of film themes.
As long as we control the quality of the film and plan the budget well, we can definitely learn from Hengyu Media's approach of supporting newcomers."
My colleagues were right, Wang Changtian really chose to return to small and medium-cost production.
In addition to him, the bosses of other film and television companies also realized something at this moment and adjusted the company's production direction.
Some, like Wang Zhongjun, chose to follow the trend and make Western-themed war movies, while others simply plagiarized and directly put Xue Rengui and his son on the big screen again.
Others were even more capable, and set their sights on Li Zhi's father Li Shimin, preparing to film a story about the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
The background dynasties of the story are all, without exception, the Tang Dynasty!
"Hot Spring Festival! "The Great Wall" broke 100 million on its first day, and broke the first-day box office record in mainland film history with a super high box office of 127.6 million, creating the best start in film history!"
"Unstoppable!" The super costume blockbuster "The Great Wall", directed by the famous director Fang Ziheng and starring Zhang Fengyi, Jing Tian, Hu Jun, Nie Yuan, Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, Liu Tao, Yang Xue and many other stars, became a hit once it was released.
It detonated the Spring Festival market at the end of the year, with a strong box office of 127.6 million on the first day.
Not only that, "The Great Wall" also broke the first-day box office record in Chinese-language film history set by Fang Ziheng's previous film, "The Secret of the Dragon," and the first-day box office record in mainland film history!"
"An epic war drama is coming!"
"With 127.6 million on the first day, Chinese-language movies have the strongest Spring Festival season in history!"
""The Great Wall" strongly strives to become the single-day box office champion. In the movie, the mountains roar like a tsunami, the frenzy of alien beasts, and the unparalleled combat power of the Tang Dynasty army are intertwined, giving the audience an unparalleled shock!"
"Innovation in Chinese film technology, creating a 3D real-life masterpiece for the first time!"
""The Great Wall" is a landmark work of Chinese films. Director Fang Ziheng used IAX film cameras for the first time, creating a picture effect that shocked the past and the present!"
“‘The Great Wall’ set multiple records on its first day and became the third Chinese-language film in the mainland film market to break over 100 million yuan on its first day!
"Amazing and amazing! "The Great Wall" was released very quickly. Regardless of the plot, story or shooting techniques, it can be called the best example of Chinese costume movies. The editor was lucky enough to grab a 3D giant screen auditorium and spent more than two hours in it.
We all spent our time in a state of excitement, the movie is really great!”
The Internet was completely blown away by the movie "The Great Wall".
The first-day figure of 127.6 million not only left its peers in the dust, but also sent entertainment media, film critics, and movie fans into a frenzy.
Starting from the morning of January 26, you can see information related to "The Great Wall" when you open any entertainment-related website.
Douban, Time.com, Movie.net, Baidu Movie Post Bar, and Weibo social platform all have posts discussing "The Great Wall".
There is no way, "Chinese Partners" and "Twelve Zodiac Signs" have already been released, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has not been released yet.
Other movies released during the same period were even weaker.
Everyone’s attention was focused on “The Great Wall” without even thinking about it. Who the hell bothers to report on other movies?
No one reads the news.
In just one day, various interpretations of the movie took turns.
Film critics and fans worked together to interpret the roles of the four and seven leading actors in "The Great Wall" from different perspectives.
Even every little plot in the movie has been posted on Weibo by fans to chew it up!
Douban has set up a special discussion column for the movie, and the film critics who have entered it are all very excited, trying their best to interpret and criticize the movie.
Douban columnist film critic: "I have to say that Fang Ziheng wanted to learn history knowledge from his math teacher, and Xue Rengui has never served as the governor of Mobei.
But the editor still wants to give Fang Ziheng a thumbs up to express his admiration. His original intention was not to compare history. The theme of resisting and fighting the mutant beasts was enough to sublimate the original ordinary war and achieve an amazing chemical reaction."
Time.com Movie Hotline: "Before watching "The Great Wall," I thought it was a story about using the Great Wall as a barrier to resist foreign invasion. I didn't expect that Fang Ziheng would take an unusual path and use exotic animals as a gimmick.
I don’t know what you viewers think, but for me personally, the thrill of slaying alien beasts and that cross-racial war is no less than any epic in history!”
A professional filmmaker on Weibo: "The plot, special effects, visuals, actors' acting skills, and excellent costumes, from the grand momentum to the smallest details, "The Great Wall" has achieved the ultimate.
I really can’t imagine any Chinese director other than Fang Ziheng who can produce such a legendary masterpiece!”
